SUMMARY:OMAK: Tools for Running an Effective Nonprofit

A group of people got together—maybe including you—and founded a nonprofit corporation to tackle an important issue. That corporation is like a car. It has a shape and size\, it needs to be registered\, and the people in the car matter. You need fuel to propel it forward. \nDuring Tools for Running an Effective Nonprofit\, we will cover the basics of running a nonprofit. We will draw on tested tips and tools\, including NAWA’s four learning toolkits on boards\, finance\, law\, and planning. You will leave with concrete next steps on how to strengthen your organization to better achieve your mission. Join us on this road trip to a strong nonprofit! \nTopics include: \n\nThe right size for your organization to be sustainable\nLegal and finance information to compliance and protection\nBudgeting\nProgram design\nVolunteer management\nFundraising\nGrant readiness\n\nYou will leave ready to: \n\nDefine to others what success looks like for your organization\nName one way your organization can be more sustainable\nName two elements to track for legal and financial compliance and protection\nExplain how your programs tie back to your mission\nDescribe how your organization understands overhead\nList at least two things that need to be in a volunteer or board job description\nName one way your organization can raise money without spending any money\n\nA light meal will be served. There will be plenty of breaks for networking and connection\, and you will have opportunities to ask about specific resources your organization needs. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCost\n\n\n\n\n$10 + tax for NAWA Members – check the Member Resources page for the 50% discount code. \n$20 + tax for Not-Yet-Members – interested in joining? Learn more about membership. \nCost should not be a barrier to participate.

Anyone who wants to know nonprofit basics and have concrete actions to move their organizations forward will find something in the day. While a team is not necessary\, it is helpful to have at least two people from an organization. \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImportant Information for Safety and Health\n\n\n\n\nTo ensure the health and safety of attendees at our in-person events\, NAWA will follow guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and local health authorities regarding infectious diseases such as COVID-19.

SUMMARY:Powerhouse Boards (Wenatchee): Training that transforms your board
DESCRIPTION:Pybus Public Market \nWenatchee\, WA \nTuesday\, May 12 | 4:00PM – 8:00PM \n$20 for an individual ticket \n$50 for a group ticket | Bring a group of 4 from your organization and save! \nDinner provided! Come ready for an engaging session filled with conversation and connection. \n \n \nPOWERHOUSE BOARDS\nTraining that transforms your board\n  \nPowerhouse boards bring an energy to their work. They make good decisions on behalf of their mission. They are nimble\, influential\, effective\, and connected. You may have seen such a board in your community—maybe you serve on one. If so\, you know the joy that comes when a group of people comes together and really makes a difference. \nLet’s dive into the three chapters of board leadership that every nonprofit needs to thrive: \n  \nBuild an effective board \nWe’ll start at the beginning—clarifying your organization’s core purpose and identifying the people who can help you achieve it. By the end of this session\, you’ll be able to clearly explain what you do and why\, connect that purpose to board recruitment\, and outline a plan to attract the right people for your board’s future. \nKnow the job: Roles and responsibilities \nThe right people will shine when they understand their role and have the skills to do it well. This includes knowing how to read financial statements and staying compliant with state and federal laws. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of the roles and responsibilities your board members hold\, the ability to “speed read” a balance sheet and income statement\, and the confidence to meet your legal and fiduciary obligations. \nWork well together \nBoards juggle a lot\, so this session focuses on how to make collaboration easier and meetings more productive. You’ll learn practical tools for decision-making\, effective committee work\, and engaging every board member in fundraising. You’ll leave with ready-to-use ideas to strengthen teamwork and bring in more resources to advance your mission. \n  \n \nABOUT THE PRESENTER\nNancy Bacon is a nonprofit educator and learning strategist who has spent over 25 years turning complex ideas into practical\, actionable learning for nonprofit leaders. She has developed and led hundreds of workshops on board leadership\, fundraising\, and organizational effectiveness.
